Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic end-to-end integrity for data repositories in an on-demand services environment, where a database system-implemented method includes receiving, by the database system, a content file and metadata to be submitted to a data repository of the database system. The content file may include content, where the metadata may include identifying data associated with at least one of the content and a user associated with the content. The method may include verifying, by the database system, the identifying data of the metadata. The verification of the identifying data represents authentication of at least one of the user and the content. The method may include submitting, by the database system, the content file and the metadata to the data repository, upon authentication of at least one of the user and the content via successful verification of the identifying data.

Abstract: A flavor delivery system includes an oral tobacco product and a flavor inhalation article. The oral tobacco product includes tobacco and a first flavorant. The flavor inhalation article includes a body having an air flow channel therethrough, and a second flavorant.

Abstract: A virtual or augmented reality smoking system is provided herein. A smoker using the system can experience a virtual reality of smoking by puffing on a cigarette shaped article and experiencing the taste or aroma from the article while simultaneously viewing a generated image of a burning cigarette and exhaled and sidestream smoke. Additionally, the room environment may be simulated to give the experience of smoking in a setting of the smoker's choice (virtual reality) or the image of a burning cigarette and smoke may be superimposed on a live or natural image of the smoker's environment (augmented reality).

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic end-to-end integrity for data repositories in an on-demand services environment in an on-demand services environment in a multi-tenant environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving, by and incorporating into a database system, a content file and metadata to be submitted to a data repository of the database system. The content file may include content, where the metadata includes identifying data associated with at least one of the content and a user associated with the content. The method may further include verifying, by the database system, the identifying data of the metadata. The verification of the identifying data represents authentication of at least one of the user and the content.

Abstract: A modular smoking article, method of using same and smoking kit are provided in which a plurality of inner sleeve members have various sized compartments for receiving various mediums within a cigarette smokestream passageway. The inner sleeves are sized so as to individually be received within an outer sleeve which also receives a cigarette at one end and provides a mouthpiece at the other end whereby the cigarette may be smoked with a variety of different volumes of different mediums such as flavoring, filtering or taste mediums in the inner sleeve compartments.

Abstract: An electrically heated cigarette smoking device includes a heater unit, heater blades for applying heat to portions of a cigarette that is supported within the heater unit, the heater unit having an opening adapted to receive an end of a cigarette and adapted to position the end of the cigarette in proximity to the heater blades, and the heater unit defining at least part of a suction flow passage through which ambient air is drawn into contact with the cigarette when a smoker draws on the cigarette positioned in the heater unit. The heater unit is mounted within a partition that positions the heater unit relative to the housing and at least partially defines a bypass flow passage in fluid communication with ambient air surrounding the housing, the partition further defining a flow diverting passage leading from the bypass flow passage to the suction flow passage and through which ambient air is drawn from the bypass flow passage when a smoker puffs on a cigarette inserted in the heater unit opening.
